Today's 8th Grade Spotlight focuses on Avery! He's off to Plainfield Central for High School after being at Bethany for the last ELEVEN years! Avery's successes include both the classroom and the court. He's been on the Honor Roll every quarter of Jr. High and he made the State Volleyball All-Tournament Team.

His Extra-Curricular Activities while At Bethany include playing basketball for 5 yrs (4th - 8th grade) and Volleyball for 2 yrs.

His Favorite Bethany Memory - Going to state for volleyball and taking 5th place and the Peoria basketball tournaments.

His Favorite Bible Verse - Isaiah 41:13 "For I am the Lord your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you."

Those are words we all need to hear right now. Thank you, Avery, for being such a fierce competitor and friend to your classmates at Bethany. May God bless you as you head into High School. We know you will continue to be successful! #bethanyproud
